Background: Our client was driving a fork lift truck on the road when he was involved in a serious road traffic accident. Approaching a roundabout, the defendant in an HGV attempted to overtake, but swerved back too soon, causing a violent collision.

Incident: The impact threw our client’s fork lift truck into the air, landing on top of a lamp post. He suffered severe spinal injuries, including damage to L1 and L4, fractured vertebrae, and contorted vertebrae. He was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary for treatment and required surgery to insert rods in his spine.

Challenges: The injuries were severe and likely to impact our client’s future employment as a farm manager. Despite this, liability was conceded by the defendant.

Support and Rehabilitation: Our client received rehabilitation under the Rehabilitation Code, which helped him return to a relatively normal life.

Outcome: A six-figure compensation settlement was secured, providing our client with financial support for the years to come, helping him manage the long-term effects of his injuries.
